“Yep.”

“Are we all supposed to throw a big party for you now that you have returned? The prodigal wife has deigned to come home and grace us all with her presence? How long are you going to stay this time around? Going to wait until Thanksgiving morning to do another runner are you saving it for a special occasion like Christmas or your anniversary?” Kimmy sneers.

Her words break Lily's heart but she expected the anger. She knew that she could not just waltz back in here like no time at all had passed and expect everyone to just forgive and forget the past.

“No, of course not. I had wanted a hello though but I am guessing that it just might be too much to ask of you.” Lily says, turning to go back to Adam's house to get her son. After the life she has had, the one thing she has learned is not to stick around where she is not wanted.

“You couldn't have called? Not once in four years! We had no idea if you were okay or not! For nearly two years Chad wasted away, not eating, bar

    “Of course you are staying here! This is your home!” “I will handle Darin, Lily. If he wants a fight, he will get a fight, but he will not like the outcome for it will not be in his favor.” “You can't leave again. We only jut got you back.” “You and Ty need to stay here.” Every word spoken still echoes in Lily's head as she lay in her bed looking up into the darkness. Bella's words, Adam's words, Fleur's and Cole's. Everyone in that room, really. It did not even take them seconds for them to make their decision. They chose to fight. All of them, every single one, told her that if Darin showed up to cause trouble, he would regret it, but that they would not let his sorry ass little threats scare them. And they most certainly would not let the threats of a bitter, disgraced alpha cost them Lily and Ty again. They all took turns telling her she needed to stay and how much they needed or wanted her there, and how they would never let threats intimidate them into thinking that her le

    “Tyler Alexander, come back here! You do not try to go in that water by yourself!” “Lil, you are so stressed. Try to breathe and I don't know.. crazy idea here- relax?” Chad lifts his hands to her shoulders to massage the rigid muscles. “I can't when your son over there thinks that he is a mermaid and tries to go swimming by himself.” Lily tenses as her son moves to the water's edge, bending down to pick up a rock. She has images of him falling head first into the water and her not reaching him in time. “Alright, that's good to know..” Chad says suddenly, his random spoken words confusing her, momentarily drawing her attention away from their son. “Huh? What's good to know?” “You're a smother.” His quick answer causes a frown to settle on her face and he quickly amends his words. “I don't mean that as a bad thing. You are just a helicopter mom and you hover over him. It might be nice now but later on when he is trying to hang out with the other pups in the pack, he is not goi

    “You found her? Where the fuck is she?” He listens to the voice on the other end of the phone as it answers him before he gives a sinister smile. “That dumb bitch..” Closing the phone with a snap, he drops it in his pocket before he turns in the direction of his former home. So, his little bitch went running back home to her mate, did she? He warned her about that shit. Now she was going to pay the price for running from him and disobeying him. No one makes a fool of him and lives to tell about it. Lily is probably living it up now, thinking that she is safe in her pack, with her snot- nosed brat and her meat head warrior of a mate, but not for long. The slut does not deserve happiness. But soon she will learn her lesson. She, and her precious little family, will pay the price for her betrayal. Lily was the happiest that she could ever recall being in her life. Things were going great for her. She and Kimmy had rekindled their friendship and Lily had grown even closer to

    “Lil.. please stop.” He catches her arm just as she reaches her door. She pulls her arm from his grasp and turns quickly, but her anger fades slightly when she notices her son in his arms. “It's fine. Hiya, sweetie.” Lily smiles at the child who reaches for her. She pulls him into her arms, while carefully trying to avoid any contact with Chad's body. Lily is turning away to enter her room when his quiet voice stops her. “Please talk to me?” “What do you want to talk about?” Lily asks him. She knows that her anger is irrational and that he is probably confused by it. In his mind, he did nothing wrong. And hell, maybe he didn't. Maybe this is all in her head, who knows. She could be reading something into nothing, but this feels personal. “Not that it matters. It's probably best if we safe this for later.” “Lily, I didn't mean to be so brisk with you.” “It's fine. You don't want to talk. We don't have to talk.” Lily says to him as she steps into her room, ready to call it a night

    Lily walks into the living room to find Chad standing in the middle of the room, looking around at it as if he had never seen it before. “Damn, it is so freaking quiet in here.” He shakes his head. “I don't like it.” “Yeah. Me neither,” Lily agrees. Lily has never spent the night away from Ty before and she has to admit that she is having a very difficult time with it. She missed him so much. It was barely seven o'clock in the evening and Fleur had not picked him up until four, so he had only been gone for three hours but it felt so much longer than that to Lily. She never should have agreed to this. But Fleur and Maury wanted to spend time with Ty and Chad had thought it might be nice to spend the evening alone, having a nice dinner and conversation. “He's alright, you know,” Chad says, giving her a small knowing smile. “I know,” Lily tells him because she does know that he is okay. If anything were wrong, Fleur would call her. Lily does not doubt that for a second. But even t

    Chad had been driving her crazy all through the movie, whether he knew it or not. He had used his finger to absent-mindedly draw little designs on her arm, inching his way to her inner arm, near her breasts. All throughout the movie, she had tried to concentrate, but it was a losing battle. All she could think about was his touch and how good it will feel all over her body. Now, it was his turn for a bit of teasing. As they move down the hall towards his bedroom, he keeps trying to catch her by the waist, but she dances just out of reach of his hands. After a couple of times of her evading his touch with that teasing smirk on her face, he can take it no longer. With a growl, he pounces on her. Backing her up against the wall, his hands slide down to her thighs to hoist her up until she wraps those shapely legs of hers around his waist. Reaching down for the hem of her shirt, he slowly slides it up her body before he flings it to the floor without a care. The sight he revealed ta

    Lily turns to look at her mate and her son as they enter the house. She sits up against the couch cushions, turning down the volume of the television because the movie she was watching can get loud at times during certain parts. “Did you have a good time?” She asks Ty. “No!” She looks at Chad who just shakes his head. Lily sits up on the couch completely. “Why? What happened?” “He hit me!” Ty tells her grumpily before he walks out of the room. Lily widens her eyes in shock and turns to face Chad. “What?” “Not like that. He got hit by a walnut.” Chad tells her. “Excuse me?” Lily asks, confused. “The black walnut trees? The big green ball that drops from it. Anyways, while the men were having their game, a few of the older kids- I am talking nine, ten.. that age- decided that they were going to have their own ball game. They were trying to hit walnuts with large limbs that they could barely lift and they were missing a lot. But it just so happens, as luck would have it, that M

    “Fuck!” It had taken Chad about five minutes to reach southern territory and he was so distracted by what he wanted to say to Lily yet didn't that it took him another two minutes to realize that all was eerily quiet. Too quiet for there to have been an attack, unless everyone was dead. Chad was about to go looking up and down the boundary when a boundary patrol named Connor came bounding up to him. “Hey, Chad. What brings you out here?” “A guy. Knocked on my door and told me there was an attack out here. Rogues. Claimed Alpha Adam and Beta Lumi needed my help.” “Ha! That's a weird joke, but no.. nothing happening out here. Jax and I have been out here for hours and other than the stray squirrel or two, we haven't seen anything.” Connor tells him. “I have no idea why someone would tell you that-” Connor's voice fades into the background as the realization hits Chad. Mind linking Adam, something that he never ever does because mind linking can be very painful, he asks him, “Adam?

    Greer sits up in bed, gasping for breath. Liam is beside her whispering, “Shh... shh.. it's okay, baby, it was just a nightmare.” Greer looks around, seeing the children safe beside her, before she looks at Liam, beside her in nothing but his boxers. Lyle isn't here and neither is Shera. It was just a dream. She is breathing heavy from fear but she is trying to calm herself down. Liam wraps his arms around her and pulls her into his warm, bare chest. Hunter is against the wall like always and Gemma is in the middle between them. Greer picks the baby up into her arms and moves her over so that she and Liam can lay down. She looked at him, “Lie with me, please.” He nods his head and adjusts himself on the bed, so that he is laying down beside of her. She lays back in his arms with her head in the crook of his shoulder. Her breath fans his chest. Gemma is beside Hunter, sleeping peacefully, so Greer turns over to face Liam. Her hand is resting on his flat stomach, her legs tangle

    “What?” “You heard me. Do you want to stay here with me forever?” Liam asks her needing to know if that is something she can even imagine before he tells her everything. “I, um-” “Yes or no, baby. There is no right or wrong answer here.” Liam says. “If you want us to-” Greer knows the exact answer that she wants to give him she just does not think that she is brave enough. She has never been one that can just put herself out there. She always has to hold a little of herself back so that if she gets hurt, at least it isn't every part of her that gets damaged. She still has something to go on. But Liam is asking her for everything. If she answers him truthfully then she will be handing him her whole heart. And that terrifies her. “This is not about what I want, Greer. This is about what you want. You are the only one that gets to make decisions for you and the children. I will not try to pressure you into anything you don't want. If you don't want to stay forever, that does not

    Time flies by as they sat there, playing together as, well, a family. They weren't a family though, he has to keep telling himself. He glances at his watch, “It's time for us to get ready. I'll watch the kids while you take a shower.” Greer nods and leaves the room. He looks at Hunter playing with the toys and the little boy looks back at him with a smile. Liam smiles back at the kid. The boy just needs positive male attention. Somebody with a Y chromosome to love him instead of scare him. Greer had done her best, but how could a teenager be expected to raise a child in a small bedroom, without any form of help? He looks at Hunter, then at Gemma in his lap and was, not for the first time, totally in awe of Greer. Greer was a survivor, there was no doubting that. She could handle anything life threw at her and clearly come out on top. He knows that she is scared of Lyle. She is worried about him and Shera showing up, but Brody wants her to have faith in him. Could she trust him t

    Greer wakes up a few hours later when it is still very early morning. Now is the perfect time to go while the baby is still asleep. She was beginning to sleep through the night, not wanting bottles at all hours. Greer figures that the routine and stability that they found in this pack house contributed greatly to that but she pushes that thought away. Yeah, life is good here but they will just have to make a better life somewhere else, she tells herself. Greer rolls out of the bed, trying not to disturb the children. She doesn't want to wake them until they are leaving. She goes to the armoire, pulling out the bags she had carried her stuff in before. She opens it and begins stuffing clothes in it. She pulls out the stroller and props it against the bed. She stuffs all the baby's sleepers in there and Hunter's clothes as well before she grabs her warm shirts. She looks at the dresses Liam had bought; he had given them to her as a surprise a few days ago. Greer feels like crying.

    They about their day and she tries her best to act normally. Tomorrow afternoon is when Belinda was due to return and Greer has made up her mind that she is leaving in the morning. Maybe with her gone, they will choose to let Belinda keep thinking that she was dead. If she has finally made her peace with it, then there is no use upsetting the apple cart now. She knows that Hunter will be so upset. He loves Liam and the house; loves what seemed like a real home and family. Yet, it isn't their home and they aren't a part of Liam's family. It will be horrible leaving, especially since she is pretty sure that she had fallen in love with Liam. But she has to go. She kept to herself as Liam's family was there. She talked and was polite, but any chance she got to excuse herself for a moment, she took it. She went to the bathroom five times while they were there, just because she needed to take a breath and to tell herself that she was not part of them. Even if they made her feel like s

    It does not take them long to go through the store and get everything on Adam's list. Within twenty minutes they are finished and back in his truck. Ten minutes of shopping and ten minutes of him talking to the beautiful girl that stopped him at the door. Greer figures that she was a girlfriend before and wants to be again, judging by all the possessive 'hands off, he belongs to me' looks that the girl was giving her. Greer has questions about her but she does not ask them. She has no right to. After Liam says goodbye to the girl, they go to the truck. Greer feels good because the whole time they were talking to the obviously interested girl, Liam never left her out. He kept his hand on her back the whole time, he included her in the conversation by asking her questions about whatever subject they were discussing. But her favorite part was when he had slung his arm around her shoulders and said, “Come on, honey. We have to get back to the kids. Dad and Hunter will be driving Mom

    Greer watches Liam as he cuddles Gemma close and kisses her hair. He carries her to his mom, handing her over when Bella holds out her arms. Adam comes over to inform Liam that the whole family is coming over for supper and that he needs them to run to the store in town and pick up a few things. Adam turns to Greer, “I need you to ride with him and make sure he gets everything. Don't worry about to kiddos, they are fine here. We will take good care of them. Becca should be home in a few minutes, she just went to visit some friends that she missed while we were gone but when she gets back, she will drag out all kinds of toys for him. She goes crazy over kids.” Greer smiles at the alpha, but inside she is very aprehensive about leaving the children with anyone but especially people they don't know. Yet about the time that she opens her mouth to decline is the same time that Hunter comes over to Adam and tugs on his shirt. “Yeah, buddy?” Adam asks the child with a big smile. “Liam

    Greer improves substantially over the next week and a half. Liam makes her take her medicines on time and keeps a drink constantly in front of her, forcing her to drink. Eventually her werewolf healing must have been slighly activated by being in a pack and with his burgeoning alpha aura, because she is healed completely and she has more strength than she ever has before. Besides all that, her senses are sharper. Each day she can see and hear better than before. Ebony had filed the petition with the human courtsand they were suppose to hear something today. Ebony was confident in the ruling though. Greer not so much. If she wasn't granted guardianship then Shera could come and get the kids whenever she wanted. Greer knows herself well enough to know that she'd do something desperately crazy before she let Lyle and Shera get the kids. Not wanting to dwell on it, she had tried to keep her mind off the ruling for the last few days. It only worked about thirty-seven point two percent

    The boy had heard the man's steps on the landing, so he invited him into the room. Liam enters the room, clearly about to say something, but just then he sees her and he just stops in the doorway where he proceeds to stare at her with his mouth ajar. Once he seems to realize that he is standing their like an imbecile with his mouth hanging open, he shakes himself, “I'm sorry. I didn't know you were, um, not dressed.” “It's quite alright. You were invited into the room,” Greer shoots Hunter a mock glare, then smiles at him as the little boy grins at her, unabashed. Liam watches the by-play between the siblings but he can not focus on the exchange. The only thing on his mind is how the sigh of her has caught his attention. Greer stands beside the shower with only a damp towel covering her. Liam watches as drops of water cut paths across her skin and he wishes that he could replace that drop of liquid with his finger tips. That the soft pads of his fingers could brush her skin in
